Back to Bugsworth

Oh that canal Basin is so attractive we just had to get there one more time. So quiet now, but back in the 1900s it was very industrious and noisy. Gritstone and Limestone quarries were up in the hills and being transported in wagons down a tramway to be processed. Coal was bought in and the products taken away by narrowboat on the Peak Forest Canal.

We found Rock n Roll round the back near the lime kilns so turned round and moored nearby. Then we went for a walk round to find Seyella had arrived for another weekend.

Later that evening Alton arrived and filled all our diesel tanks.

Geoff had placed an order with Tesco and when it arrived we moved alongside to pass the goodies through our side hatches.
